Cardiel, Stereo Donkey, Sour Fuzz

Cardiel is a two-piece skaterock band formed in Mexico City in 2010 by Venezuelan natives Samantha Ambrosio (drums/vocals) and Miguel Fraino (guitar/vocals). Born from their passion for skateboarding videos, the duo blends fast, aggressive punk‑ and fuzz‑driven rock with psychedelic dub elements, creating a dynamic "chameleon" sound that shifts from thrashing riffs to dub breakdowns.They’ve earned a solid reputation by touring relentlessly across the US and Latin America, playing festivals such as SXSW, Hell & Heaven Metal Fest, Sonic Blast, and Invisible skateboard tours like Thrasher’s Skate Rock México — even becoming the first Mexican/Venezuelan band to feature in Thrasher magazine.Drawing inspiration from skater John Cardiel—whose fearless, genre-mixing approach mirrors their own name and ethos—the band channels his energy, fusing Bad Brains-style hardcore, Sabbath-style heaviness, and reggae-infused dub into their high-intensity performance.
